Seems like I need to go to more cons

Sounds like it'll need blocked in Ireland then
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
Fuck Spez
I'm still working on this one
I've gotten a lot better at it but damn do I have room for improvement (I need to dodge "nap mode" more often IMO)
I'd say I'm about 60% successful at it currently
The ability to start and finish a task is pretty cool
The ability walk out of a room to grab something and remember what I was planning to grab is also pretty cool
I feel fucking seen by this post
It rings right to my core
Ah gotcha
It really is, the average time loss injury in our company is usually upwards of 30k down the drain. And just an accident can be catastrophic in terms of cost as well.
A BBQ compared to that is nothing.
Less than Truck Load
Basically if a company want to ship pallets of crap but they don't have enough to justify using their own truck
Think TForce, YRC, Oak Harbor, FedEx Freight, etc.
I suddenly feel like the crypt keeper
With a large enough workplace in the wrong industries it's really easy to have something that could count against it.
I work in the LTL freight industry, we get quite a few.
I work in the LTL freight industry, if we go 30 days without an accident or an injury we get a free BBQ day with unlimited food for everyone. We're talking burgers, hotdogs, chilli, chowder, chips, drinks, etc. Sometimes they even do catering. Our last one they did Hawaiian Food for 2 days (they got too much) which definitely made everyone happy.
I've been there for almost 10 years, we average about 2 per year.
Edit to clarify: 2 BBQs per year. We're really good as getting hurt.
It's more a "If a company doesn't comply with a coutry's regulations then it can't operate in that country" thing and not a joke.
For example Twitter when it was blocked in Brazil for a little while because they didn't want to pay a fine for not complying with some of their regulations.
